BELLES OF ST. MARY’S March 20, 1959 College Students IM^ust Assume Responsihilities Real Interest In Education Lacking Dr. Smedes Speaks So much lias happened since last we met. The bowling class now has to find some other physical educa tion class to fit into. And there will only be .Johnny’s to spend an eve ning with your date. The sky turn ed red as the Manmur and the Pro file crumbled to ashes and coals. The Irony of the fire is that the rumor goes that the Profile was go ing on limits. C’est la guerre! each other, playing honeymoon bridge, they have requested another dorm to stay in when they become seniorsr The seniors over there are now using the stairs. Alost of their confidence has been shaken in that “infernal contraption.” (Unquote.) Report On Legislative Body A.ctioit The seniors are so relieved to find that they won’t have to “sweat” their grades anymore. The president of their class announced in assembly the other day that no one would graduate unless they had been measured for their cap and gown. Oh, how the requirements have changed for graduation! I imagine that all the seniors have been measured by now, and prob ably none of them are worried about final exams. On February 16,1959, The Legis lative Body and Dr. Stone approv ed the following petitions; The five hour dating rule is abolished. There will be no signing out until 6 P.AI. for upi>erclassmen. A stu dent must sign out if she plans to return to school after 6 P.M. Upperclassmen may date until eleven o’clock on Sunday night. Some girls have already packed for Easter vacation, and the girls that are going to New York haven’t been able to settle down all week. Excitement and dis-organization reign all over school. Well, almost all over school. Some girls are struggling with tests and themes that must be turned in before they leave. The new girls don’t realize how nice it is to be home for Easter, and the old girls certainly appreciate the new schedule. All the students wish to thank the faculty ’ for scheduling the vacation at a time when they can be with their families. A family should be to gether as much at Easter as they are at Christmas or Thanksgiving. Two freshman girls have become rather skej)ticle of the elevator in Penick. After sitting in it for at least two hours stuck between floors, with no one to talk to but No special permissions are re quired for ufjperclassmen when go ing out of town except when taking an overnight, attending a cabin party, or receiving late permission. (A student must sign out if she plans to return after 6 P.M.) When returning from dating out of town (not taking an overnight) dating hours conform to dating hours in Raleigh. (That is, twelve o’clock on Saturday night depend ing on the classification of the stu dent, and eleven o’clock on Sunday night.) There will be no closed week ends except the first week-end of school, Easter week-end, the week end of May Day until after the pageant. However, underclassmen must continue to remain at school for four hours of supervised study hall on Saturday. Faculty Facts If a privilege is abused, it should be taken away. St. Mary’s college students were granted more college privileges on the grounds that we were mature and able to assume more responsibility. By abusing our new freedom, we prove that we cannot assume more responsibility. And if this is true we ought to go back to the old rules. Is this not right? But is it not wrong for those who are willing to accept responsibility to suffer because of tliose who will not accept responsibility? Maybe this is a key to the problem — unselfishness. Let us think of the long range happiness of others and not short lived excitement for ourselves. St. jVIary’s has a bright future. We don’t want to be the ones to tarnish it. Name: Dr. Eugene F. Parker. Birthplace: Ellendale, North Dakota. Alma Miater: Norwich University in Vermont and Harvard Uni versity. Greatest Grievance: Life is too short. Pet Peeve: In class: “What did you say ?” Favorite Pastime: Gardening. Former Aspiration: To be Import ant. Campus Improvements: Better acoustics of classrooms in Cheshire. Alaybe the reader has noticed that in the recent teacher interviews, the teachers deplored the lack of a desire for knowledge and learning. Deeper thinking needs to be done by us all. What are we contributing to this world of ours? Most of us would be ashamed to answer that question; for in truth, we are out for our own selfish ends. Our world centers around ourselves, and we live on the fatal “get by” philosophy. How many times have you heard, “Oh no! Don’t take that course, it’s too hard.” And how few times have you heard, “Take that course; it’s good and hard, and you’ll learn a lot.” If we are guilty of saying the former, we have lost the aim of education; and as a matter of fact, we have lost the aim of life; for what is more basic to a good life than a good education. Consultation Program Begun A special period from Alarch 9-21 has been established in which stu dents may consult with members of the faculty for advice on what courses to take while at St. Mary’s and what programs to follow after transferring to another college. !Mrs. Cell, chainnan of the Orienta tion Committee, said that partici pation in the consultation program was strictly voluntary on the stu dents’ part. It. was also stated that students may consult as many teachers as they like. This period of consultation should aid the stu dents in choosing courses in which to enroll at regisitration after spring vacation. Former Student Honored During the student elections held in the past week at Sweet Briar College, Sarah Underhill, of Ra leigh, has been elected Vice-Presi dent of the Y.W.C.A. for the com ing year. Aliss Underhill, a junior, is a graduate of the St. Mary’s School. A member of Tau Phi, upperclass honoraiy society, she is the daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Garj’ !M. L’n- derhill, 2200 Beechridge Rd., Ra leigh. “Mrs. Smith had triplets and two weeks later she had twins.” “That’s impossible. How did it happen?” “One of the triplets got lost.” Shakey: “I’m so flustered over my exams. I’ve got butterflies in my stomach.” Dr. Jeness: “Take an aspirin— tlie butterflies will go away.” Shakey: “I took aspirin—^they’re playing ping-pong with it.” He: “Please.” She: “No!” He: “Just this once.” She: “No, I said.” He: “Aw, shucks, Ma, all the other kids are going barefoot.” Young visitor: “ Why does your grandma just sit there and read the Bible all day?” Little Jim: “She’s crammin’ for the finals!” The Belles OP ST.
